What is a Missouri Electrical Worker Wage and Welfare Bond?

Electrical contractors that are part of the St. Louis Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association are required to acquire a surety bond for their employees.

 

The surety bond is part of the aforementioned association’s agreement with the Local Union No. 1 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

 

The surety bond will help protect the workers by ensuring that they will get paid properly and that the employer will make timely contributions to the employees’ Fringe Benefit Trust Fund.
